My first year in EVE
-- Sept. 2022
On September 25, 2022 a friend of mine, who I played League of Legends with, convinced me to have a look at EVE with him. He had been playing it for much longer already, originally with Goonswarm as an FC in their Capital PVP Corp.
He had me start out in wormholes, knowing nothing but how to scan them down and how to find relic and data sites. At the time this was my whole fortune:

Soon my friend decided to focus on his studies and recommended that I find a corp to fly with if I wanted to keep playing the game. So after a few weeks of flying around Jita on my own i found the corporation browser and in it NexaVast. At the time they were deployed on an OP and were quite suspicious that I could be a spy. But they took me in eventually and started teaching me about Wormholes and EVE in general.

A month in the corp, change happened as we joined the Hole Control Alliance. We had more fleets than usual with them and others around the time we joined them, through which I met a few other groups on the allied side and made friends with them. I joined a German wormhole group with an alt character and spent some time with them to learn more. In addition i started training to become a FC - kicked off by a drunken fleet, that was meant to be more a joke than anything else.

In February NOSF, a friend group of Hole Control, got attacked by the huge russian group Parabellum. They didn’t allow anyone to enter the hole to help out and get a fight, so our response turned into a counter-attack and eventually a full war campaign including over a hundred pilots. I started out just wanting to assist the organisation a bit and very quickly got straight into being part of the organisation.
Towards the end of the first week Xel decided to make me manager in Nexa, which also got me into Alliance Leadership. I had started writing guides for the other new people before and started working on that more now, together with getting better at creating fittings.

Together with Lux Invicta i give an interview at talking in stations about the PR.BL war

Throughout the war campaign I get friends with sugar and receive partial membership with them, after spending a High-Class Vacation in their C6.

I travelled to Amsterdam to meet up with Xel and Jocky there. The same weekend Avanto puts up a keepstar in JSpace, which gets celebrated with the whole alliance.
Some guys in Avanto decided to join AT - after revealing their plan to do it with the Finnish group only, I convinced them with a little peer pressure from the other member Corps as well, that we have to do AT as an alliance. Because of that Jace decided to make me not only help with organising it, but making me Co-Captain for the team.

I travelled to Helsinki for a week, to join the Avanto Summer Meeting in Äänekoski.
-- July 2023
After multiple months of training for the tournament, our team makes it through the AT qualifiers, the Feeders.
A few weeks later i flew to London to meet with Razor, Kalley and Richard from LDEV.

It’s the alliance tournament weekends, like in the Feeders, I get to fly low-end cruisers in each match. After a few nice matches we sadly drop out of the tournament.

Since then I’ve been mostly maintaining friendships, trying to help the corps whenever I can and calming down my EVE activity a bit, as I spent at least half a year not playing anything else.
